P2677

Moderate

Air Cleaner Inlet Control Circuit High

What Does P2677 Mean?

The air cleaner inlet control circuit voltage is higher than expected. This indicates an open circuit, short to power, or failed actuator preventing ECM from controlling the inlet valve.

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Disconnect actuator and measure resistance across terminals; compare to specifications

2

Step 2: Check for proper ground at actuator connector using multimeter

3

Step 3: Test for voltage on control wire with key on and actuator disconnected

4

Step 4: Inspect wiring for damage and test continuity from ECM to actuator on all circuits

5

Step 5: If circuits test good, replace actuator; retest and check ECM if problem persists

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $500
